Stress and its consequences

Consequences of chronic stress

• Scientific evidence confirms that chronic stress has a large-scale negative impact on health and quality of life.

• Scientists suggest that stress is a factor in the development of up to 10,000 diseases and over 100,000 symptoms .

• According to Professor Paul Roche (director of the American Institute of Stress), from 75% to 90% of visits to doctors are related to stress disorders .

• Up to 30% of women with chronic stress have fertility problems .

The social nature of stress

• In today's world, stress is more often socially caused than physical.

• The state of the body becomes an indicator of psycho-emotional stress, but most people do not associate poor health with stress.

• Common symptoms that are often ignored or considered “normal”:

  • headache,

  • insomnia,

  • digestive disorders,

  • frequent colds,

  • fatigue,

  • irritability,

  • addiction to stimulants (coffee, nicotine) or relaxants (alcohol, tranquilizers).

Psychological sources of stress

Deep causes of stress

1. Untreated mental trauma caused by:

   • loss of loved ones,

   • divorce,

   • liberation,

   • loss of property or finances.

2. Chronic conflicts , including:

   • family troubles,

   • unsatisfactory work,

   • problems with management,

   • loss of meaning in life.

Mechanism of psychosomatic development

• People suppress or repress negative emotions without realizing the level of internal tension.

• This often manifests as:

  • suppressed aggression,

  • emotional breakdowns,

  • anxiety,

  • fears,

  • background anger.

• As a result, biological resources are depleted, the ability to adapt deteriorates, and an imbalance occurs in the functioning of organs and systems , which creates the prerequisites for diseases (neuroses, depression, psychosomatics).

As Vladyslav Matrenytsky, director of the Expio Center, notes, prolonged mental stress can even cause the development of oncology .
